Full Version: Should I sell it or keep it?

Downriver Thunder
Bought for my daughter but she doesn't like it, she likes my MXZ so I gave it to her. It's nearly 90% mint, just needs a good cleaning. Previous owner told me it was mint but it wasn't so I did some repairs and now it's almost there. I have no need for it and don't know what it's worth. Any ideas?

if it was mine and i didn't own any money for it i would keep it, but thats just me

Thing is, I have no use for it. I got it on a deal from what I thought was a friend, for my daughter as a starter sled. She didn't grow up with the narrow stance sleds so she's not used to the wobbliness of them. That's why I gave her my MXZ instead.

i would probably get rid of it if you don't really have a need or want for it. i really don't know what it could be worth. i wouldn't think that there is as much of a demand for a sled like that since it's not a "performance" sled. but maybe someone who grew up riding one would really appreciate it. dunno.gif jmo

personally i would keep it just for the fun of booting around on it and taking it to shows, but if you have no use for it there is sombody that would love to have it somwhere, no sense in letting it sit and deteriorate when there is a colecter that would apriciate it. have fun if you keep it, good luck if you decide to sell it.

Look at the picture, it looks to me like it's fan cooled. haven't been into it much so I'm not sure, what do you think?

fan cooled for sure.

In the pics this sled looks really clean. No, it's not a performance model, so huge dollars it probably is not worth. However because of the condition it sure could be taken to shows etc and have some fun at old timer runs.

I'd keep it, but if you do sell it, there should be some value due to the condition to the right person.

You may find this interesting.

Gotta dis-agree, if it's all there and runs and looks decent should be worth from $400-$700 depending on how nice it is.

Try listing it on nhsnowmobilemuseum.com

i would list it for 250 and just hold on to it until some one bites. It owes you nothing right?

That sled is worth 500 or more to the person who had one back in the day. Dont give it away to some kid that will trash it @ $300. Keep the price up so that it gets appreciated and purchased by the right person. Good luck. ebay.
